Nanostructured particles (e.g., core-shell nanoparticles or nano-decorated micro-particles) have high potential in applications such as energy conversion and storage, but also in medicine and catalysis. However, to come from product design incorporating nanostructuring to actually making such materials at relevant scales is not trivial. Gas-phase coating using atomic layer deposition (ALD, a variant of chemical vapour deposition) can be used to provide the surface of a particle with either an ultrathin continuous coating or a decoration of nanoclusters. When carried out in a fluidized bed or a pneumatic reactor, ALD is an attractive way of producing nanostructured particles with excellent scale-up potential.
